What it does
Simple scroll-triggered reveal animations using AOS (Animate On Scroll). Use this skill when building marketing pages, landing pages, or content-heavy sites requiring basic fade/slide effects without complex animation orchestration. Triggers on tasks involving scroll animations, scroll-triggered reveals, AOS, simple animations, or basic scroll effects. Alternative to GSAP ScrollTrigger and Locomotive Scroll for simpler use cases. Compare with motion-framer for React-specific animations.
Scroll Reveal Libraries
Overview
This skill covers AOS (Animate On Scroll), a lightweight CSS-driven library for scroll-triggered animations. AOS excels at simple fade, slide, and zoom effects activated when elements enter the viewport.
Key Features:
- Minimal Setup: Single JavaScript file + CSS
- Data Attribute API: Configure animations in HTML
- Performance: CSS-driven, GPU-accelerated animations
- 50+ Built-in Animations: Fades, slides, zooms, flips
- Framework Agnostic: Works with vanilla JS, React, Vue, etc.
When to Use:
- Marketing/landing pages with simple scroll effects
- Content-heavy sites (blogs, documentation)
- Quick prototypes requiring scroll animations
- Projects where GSAP/Framer Motion complexity isn't needed
When NOT to Use:
- Complex animation timelines or orchestration → Use GSAP ScrollTrigger
- Physics-based animations → Use React Spring or Framer Motion
- Precise scroll-synced animations → Use GSAP ScrollTrigger
- Heavy interactive animations → Use Framer Motion
Core Concepts
Installation
CDN (Quickest):
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/aos@next/dist/aos.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Content with data-aos attributes -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/aos@next/dist/aos.js"></script>
<script>
AOS.init();
</script>
</body>
NPM/Yarn (Recommended):
npm install aos@next
# or
yarn add aos@next
import AOS from 'aos';
import 'aos/dist/aos.css';
AOS.init();
Basic Usage
Apply animations using the data-aos attribute:
<!-- Fade in -->
<div data-aos="fade-in">Content</div>
<!-- Fade up -->
<div data-aos="fade-up">Content</div>
<!-- Slide from right -->
<div data-aos="slide-left">Content</div>
<!-- Zoom in -->
<div data-aos="zoom-in">Content</div>
